A contrasting pair of train images, starting with a sea of Siemens Desiros belonging* to SouthWest Trains:
And, in complete contrast, an archive photo from British Rail days showing a pair of then-brand new electric multiple units from the 31x family, box-fresh in their shiny new Rail Blue liveries, being towed by an ancient English Electric Type 1 (later known as a Class 20).
They seem like images from different worlds.
*Technically, they belong to one or other Rolling Stock companies (or ROSCOs), and are leased and operated by SouthWest Trains, but that's just too complicated to get into a single opening sentence.
